Canary

Black Rose, The

Having pledged themselves to the Apollonians’ humanitarian cause, Jack and Lucy continue their search for the Risa Star. Their journey takes them to worlds alien to them yet uncannily paralleling their own: an arctic mountain range, a city in the throes of industrialization, and a forest whose inhabitants are literally a part of their environment.

But they’re not the only ones looking. The Cult of Dionysus draws ever closer to the completion of its superweapon, threatening to wreak havoc on an unprecedented scale. Meanwhile, Alex remains the emperor’s prisoner, struggling against the increasingly inviting pull of the Darkness.

A white fox, a black rose, and gray smoke shrouding something just out of sight . . .

“This book continues the great saga that started with The White Fox. In this book you again are transported into a world different from your own. This being said, though, the author has done a great job at helping people to make the connections and providing an overall story that is fun and engaging. Also, the characters are well developed, and through Jack and Lucy’s journey, you are taken on an adventure that you (and they) will never forget!”
